Mr.. Cleveland's Double.

A dispatch from Syracuse, n, Y, to the
Cleveland Plain Dealer says: Had the Presi-
dent of the United States walked into the office
of the Vanderbilt House when he was here and
written on the virgin page of the register the
autograph: &c. c. Hicks, Philadelphia, 7" people
familiar with the personal appearance of
Crover Cleveland could not have been more
surprised than three or four gentlemen were to
see an incident so like this as to be absolutely
startling. c. G. Hicks of Philadelphia,
is gentleman who frequently comes
hlance to the President is really remarka BILE
He is a trife Older, perhaps, looks his years
and is broader about his girth, but in facial con
tour and facial expression is the double of the
President. The peculiar expression which Mr..
Cleveland habitually wears in his eyes as if they
were beng blinded by the sun, is Mr.. Hicks to
a dot, as is the rather notified complexion of the
face. Mr.. Hicks has n Thousand times been told
of the likeness he bears and was once intro
duced to the President at Washington as his
double. Indeed they frequently met before
Mr.. Cleveland became great.
Stlll more unusual is the fact that Mr.. Hicks
handwriting IS so nearly like the President S
that one would be forgery of the other. 1t is
a small and nervous hand almoS minnie in

No End of Rattlesnalse .
From the Birmingham Age.

FROM tHc cunningham age.
Just over the line in Marion county Ca, a
wild mountainous section of the county, q man
by the name of Becker has lived for several
years. Mr. Becker's home is the ordinary one
room log cabin of that section, and his family
consists of wife, several small children and
half q dozen dogs. The Becker homestead is
located in a picturesque ravine near number
OF small caves in the mountain side Last week
Mr.. Becker, returning at shutdown from his day S
labor, found his family some distance from the
cabin clinging to each other in abiect terror
The half dozen dogs lay dead in the yard, and
over their swollen bodies crawled and Kissed
hundreds of rattlesnakes. The floor of the
cabin and the entire yard were covered with the
poisonous reptiles Mrs Becker informed her
husband that early in the afternoon several
snakes crawled into the yard, coming from the
direction of the nearest cave, which was about
2O yards away. These were promptly
others came in such numbers that the dogs were
oyerpowered and stung to death by the poison
oIS tangs of the reptiles. They soon began to
come in still larger numbers, and several of
them entered the house. Mrs. Becker and her
children then fed in terror and left the reptiles
IN full possession OF the premises. In the semi
darkness even the bold mOuntaineer did not
dare attack the hldeOus invaders OF his house,
and carried his family to the house of neigh
Dor, where they remained during the night.
Early in the morning Mr.. Becker returned home.
only to find the snakes still in possession and
largely reinforced. He summoned several of
his neighbors, and the party armed with shot
guns, returned TO the cabin to exterminGte the
reptiles. VClley after volley was fired into the
writhng mass, but still snakes continued to
crawl out of the brush and coil themselves in
the yard or cabin After killing snakes for an
hour the party left and the reptiles were still in
possession of the cabin.

A dispatch from Lowell Mass, to the New
York World says: One of the members of the
Lowell Grand Army posts had curious expert
cnce at the close of the late war, which caused
him to postpone his return to Lowell for years.
His name is Halsey, and when the war ended he
was released from a Confederate prison. He

Darnly was accosted by a sfx-footer of the

but when the SOutherner drew a knife Halsey
seized stick from pile and aimed blow at
the Southerner's head. Darnly lust then man
eyed to turn the Southerner on his back and
Darnly received the blow on the skull He was
rendered insensible and it was some time before
he left the hospital Halsey supposed he had

A few days ago he did come back While stand

The New Navy.

| The new war vessel Atlanta has gone to
sea with board of naval officers, who are
! instructed to report whether she is strong
| enough TO resist the strain to which she is
subjected when her modern guns are fired.
Some time ago, when a test was made of
her eight-inch rifed guns, she suffered con-
siderable damage, and some of her officers
| expressed the opinion that the firing of guns
of that size on board of her would very
soon render her unfit for service. They
went further than that, and expressed a
doubt whether she could resist the strain Of
six-incn guns unless she were greatly
strengthened.
There are a good many obstacles to be
| overcome in building a navy of armored
vessels. The constructors and builders are
forced to feel their way, as it were, since
they have never had any experience with
such vessels, and that which appears to be
very satisfactory in theory often proves to
be very unsatisfactory in practice.
All the vessels which have thus far been
built for the new navy were very faulty,
and required a great deal of tinkering be-
fore the Navy Department would accept
them 1t was thought that the Atlanta
would prove equal to the expectations which
We're entertained of her after numerous
changes had been made, but unless the inn
pressions obtained from the first test Of her
guns prove to be erroneous she will have to
be classed as failure.
The ship-builders in this country lack the
experience in constructing armored war
vessels which England's ship-builders
have, and it is not surprising, therefore,
that the Secretary of the Navy thought it
advisable to purchase plans of a couple of
vessels from English naval constructors.
When it became known that he had gone
abroad for plans some of the Republican
papers We're quick to condemn him, but it
is noticeable that they have had very little
to say since the Atlanta has proven unequal
to the demands upon her 1t was intended
to arm the Chicago, which is now being
built, with ten-inch rifled guns, but since
the experience with the Atlanta it is said
that six-inch guns will be substituted for
them.

Him to Get to London and Back.
From the NeoC York sun.
A district messenger boy is to be started on a
long and novel errand on Wednesday next, his
destination being no less distant place than
London. After the Lyceum Theatre closed
Manager Dan FIohman conceived the curious
idea of sending by a district messenger souvenirs
and congratulatOry letters TO the surviving
writer's Of The Highest Bidder" and others in
London. The play as originally produced in
England was called Trade, and it was written
by the elder Sothern MaddaSon Norton and
Robert Reece. Frohman and young.Ed Sothern
prepared souvenir, and the services OF Low S
Exchange We're engaged to see that the boy was
properly cared for during the voyage over and
back
The lad. in a new uniform respondent with
brass buttonsa and red tape, will take the steamer
Germanic next Wednesday. On landing in Llv-
erpool he will be met by John b. Curtis, General
Manager of the Midland railroad, who will
whoop him along iua special carriage to the
first train for the city. In London he Will at
once start on his round delivering the souvenirs.
Edmund Yates, Henry Irving, Ellen Terry, Buff
talo Bill, Nate Salisbury, Emily Faithful Nat
Goodwin Toole, Clement Scott and many others
will receive them. Each will sign the little
ticket. inst as would be done If the recipient
were in New York.
rhe souvenir consists of number of sheets
of heavy cream and-chOcolate colored paper
bound together with ribbon. The first page bias
a photograph of +. II. Sothern. At the bottom
is the legend, in the writing of Sothern: He
didn't do it very well, but he did it," 1t is
signed by SOthern. The four following pages
are 1illed with sketches made by Sothern from
scenes in the play.
AS soon as the boy gets his packages deliv-
cred he will take the first ship back to New
York His ticket, signed by those who re-
ceived souvenirs, will be quite souvenir in

Tho Pope and the Knights.

The announcement is made that the Pope
has decided that there is no ground for Pa
pal interference with the Knights of Labor
organization. 1t will be remembered that
the Archbishop of Montreal thought that
there was and that he took some steps look
ing to its condemnation in Canada. His
action brought the knights of Labor ques-
ton before the Pope, and. Cardinal Gibbons,
of Baltimore, appeared as the defender of
the Knights.
In brief talk on Tuesday night Cardinal
Gibbons said that there was nothing in the
purposes or organization of the Knights
which deserved condemnation, and that in
his opinion there would bo no condemna-
ton of thcn as long as they kept themselves
free from Anarchists and other dangerous
associations
There cannot, of course, be any reason for
finding fault with the Knights as long as
they respect the rights of others, and seek
only to better their condition. Efforts are
all the time being made, however, to induce
them to go beyond the legitimate purposes
OF their organization and to lend their in
flucnce TO the PRONUNCIATION of doctrines
which are hostile to the best interests of
society. To what extent these efforts will
! succeed remains to be seen. 1t is noticeable
that Dr. MeGlynn and Henry George are
welcome guests at their meetings, and that
they were received with favor at
the great picnic of District Assem-
bly, a. near New York, last Mon
day. There is probably no reason
why these two men should not have at
tended the picnic if they went there simply
TO encourage the Knights 10 pay great at
tention to those things which promise to
better their condition, but if they went
there to make converts TO the Henry George
land theory, and wero listened to with
favor, the Knights may well ask whether
| such mon are not dangerous to them, and
whether the knights, in supporting and en-
! couraging them, are not drifting away
from safe moorings. The Socialists, Com
munists and Anarchists are each striving
10 gain control Of the Knights, but there is
no evidence yet that they are meeting with
! success

Gen. Clinton b. Fish, of New Jersey, said

than the Prohibition party would weaken

An Old PrODosition.

A correspondent objects to the compost
ton of the General Assembly, and suggests
that at the next election it would be well
for the people to choose as their representa-
tives none but farmers
About once a year somebody makes q
similar proposition. There seems to be an
impression among these people that there is
neither ability nor honesty among lawyers,
doctors, and merchants, and that to force
them out of the General Assembly would
greatly benefit the State OF course the
impression is erroneous, and those who have
it are either ignorant or willfully shut their
eyes to the facts.
It is doubtful if the composition of the
General Assembly could be improved There
are in the body representatives of various
interests, each capable of assistance to the
other, or of being a check upon the other
when occasion requires. If none but farm
ers were elected the agricultural interest
would receive more attention than it de-
serves Not only would this be true, but
other interests would suffer. A farmer, for
instance, would not be likely to know the
needs of the legal or the medical profession,
nor would he understand correctly what
legislation would be of benefit to commerce.
The old saying, ''every man to his own
trade" contains a valuable suggestion.
Each important interest should be repre-
Sented in the General Assembly, Just as
is the case at present.
1t cannot be denied that the farmers who
devote their attention to law-mazing render
the State good service. They are generally
conservative, refusing to act hur1iedly.
They know how necessary economy is, and
they therefore carefully scrutinize every
proposition to spend the States money, not
infrequently preventing waste. Inaddition
it may be said that some of tho most impor-
tant laws on the statute books were origi-
mated by farmers. 1t is not probable, how
ever, that these laws would have been made
as nearly perfect as they are without the
aid of the representatives of other inteEests.
1t is certain that these representatives have
originated laws as important as those claim
ing farmers as their authors, and it is
equally as certain that there is as much
honesty and ability among lawyers, doctors
and merchants as there is among farmers.
The General Assembly is well enough as il
is, and may be depended on to do its duty.

On Nancy Stitching.



Never psiutcr's fairest fahcy
Can compare with my sweet Nancy,
For she is a perfect picture
OF a perfect womauhood:
Though she ~ not blessed with riches,
And must earn her bread by stitches,
She is better than her bettelys.
For her heart Is pure and good.
When | sometimes watch her stitching,
Every stitch my heart bewitchiGE,
eXclaim in nasty language
AT the sad mistakes In life:
But she laughs 10 quick and Jolly,
AS She puts To III .ht my folly
BY asking II wish to have
A duchess FOR wife.
Then say with love that fingers
Near the stitches by her fingers,
That if had Aladdin's lamp
A duchess she should be-.
And she answers, archly smiling,
In manner most beguiling,
That II she were a duchess
She would never marry me.
So. perhaps, IL may be better
After all TO wear tine fetter
OF poverty that's honest
Tnan be titled, proud and rich:
For before the moon is changing,
By mutual arranging,
